gcc warnings

["Humpolicek, Jiri - Acision" <jiri.humpolicek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
            I have, from my point of view, strange problem. I want to tell gcc to report all compilation warnings, especially warnings about assigment from variable of greater type to variable with smaller type. For example, when I write following code and compile it with next command no warning is reported:

c++ -o test test.cpp -Wall -Wextra -Wconversion -pedantic

#include "stdio.h"

int main()
{
        long a = 10000;
        unsigned char b = a;

        printf("%d\n", b);

        return b;
}

Gcc -v prints these information, but I have already test it on different versions but with same unsatsfactory results:

Using built-in specs.

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)

Where is the problem?

Thanks for explanations and have a nice day, Jiri Humpolicek
